by Leticia Espinosa and Ralf Kies So, we are declared #MebasGroupies, and it was just a matter of time for us to find an excuse to visit them at their newest postcode: Sao Paulo! What better excuse to plan a two weeks holiday in Brazil during Carnival, than the arrival of #AlexiaRocks and the Meba’s …
Ramen… one of my favorite Japanese foods… I am certainly not an expert in the topic, but I am definitely a fan. Maybe even a little obsessed!

In March 2015, my mom came to visit us in Singapore. We had a fantastic time here, and got a chance to show her what our life is like. As part of her visit, we planned a visit to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. Our previous experience in the country (Ho Chi Minh) convinced us this…
